This week our guest is none other than Keith Jackson. Keith was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He attended high school at Little Rock Parkview, where he was a three-sport letterman and Parade All American in football. He also played the cello with the Parkview orchestra. Upon graduating from Parkview, Keith attended the University of Oklahoma, graduating with academic honors and a BA in Communications in 3 1⁄2 years. In 1988, the Philadelphia Eagles made Mr. Jackson the thirteenth pick of the first round in the National Football League draft. He played in the NFL for nine years with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Miami Dolphins, and finished his career with a Super Bowl championship with the Green Bay Packers.

Mr. Jackson spent much of his off the field time promoting the vision God entrusted to him of developing an academic center that would give the youth in his hometown of Little Rock, hope, strong values, and academic confidence. In 1992, this vision became a reality with the incorporation of P.A.R.K. (Positive Atmosphere Reaches Kids). P.A.R.K. became a non-profit organization under the leadership of Mr. Keith Jackson as President of the Board. Keith not only put his name and personal money in the program; he also puts in countless hours with the youth of this program.

Keith Jackson has also combined his college degree in communications and his professional playing experience to become a broadcast analyst with TNT television for one year, the Oklahoma Sooner football radio network in 1998, Fox Sports Network in 1999 and the Arkansas Razorback Sports Network in 2000. He has also become one of the most dynamic and inspirational speakers in the country. His speaking engagements include churches, civic groups, corporations and schools.
